Members shared a wide variety of personal go-to tools for coping with feeling overwhelmed by the world, with music being the most popular choice, including 80s and 90s favorites, gospel, and jazz. Several members described physical and creative outlets like cycling, hiking, yoga, baking, crocheting, video games, and yard work as powerful ways to redirect negative energy and stay grounded. A recurring theme was the importance of intentional self-care routines, whether through meditation, support groups, prayer, or simply stepping away from the news to protect mental peace.

I as well listen to music especially 80’s and 90’s music, I also put on a favourite tv show, usually Bewitched and yes yes yes cannabis.

Not only when I get overwhelmed, but when I'm underwhelmed or on either end of the spectrum. A regular practice of self care keeps me grounded & centered. Music, meditation, massage, candles, a good pedicure, and a clean & organized home sanctuary keeps my vibration high & energy flowing. Now, I'm not a monk or a punk, so I'll still cuss a muthafuka out on occasion but that's mostly for "texture", and I don't let it knock me off my game. So, try these tools to keep your cool!

Smoking a big fat joint, throwing some vinyl on the record player and doing some art or cooking something.
